How do you change yourself while staying true to who you really are?

[Anonymous]

I've struggled my whole life with learning to be better, a better friend a better family member, a better businessman etc. But sometimes I feel lost like I don't know who I am anymore. Is that normal?

There is this overly poetic saying that you die every time you fall asleep and you are reborn as someone new when you wake.

The point is that change is inevitable. While minor, the us of today are no longer who we were yesterday or who we will be tomorrow.

You consequently do not -stay- true to who you are, ever. You choose who you want to be. You base that on who you are. Sometimes you make good choices. Sometimes you make bad choices. Accepting change as a process helps but I can never truly be who I was last week again. I could be better. Worse. Similar. Not the same though. It is bittersweet.

This advice I think will be majorly helpful

Who says you aren’t good at those in the first place though?
